About Tasneem Fataar
Tasneem Fataar brings a compassionate, adaptable approach to counselling, focusing on understanding each person’s experiences, emotions, and challenges. She prioritises a collaborative assessment of individual needs and works with clients to design personalised plans that can be adjusted as progress and circumstances change. Tasneem aims to create a supportive, non-judgemental, and non-stigmatising space where people feel able to share their stories and explore change.
Her practice draws on evidence-based modalities and focused psychological strategies to address a wide range of concerns. She uses cognitive behavioural techniques and acceptance and commitment approaches alongside mindfulness-based cognitive methods, strengths-based and brief solution-focused strategies, motivational interviewing, narrative work, trauma-informed practice, Gestalt methods, and crisis intervention when appropriate. This breadth allows her to tailor interventions to the priorities and preferences of each person she sees.
Tasneem holds the credential AASW, which denotes membership of the Australian Association of Social Workers, and she applies these professional standards while working with individuals facing stress, anxiety, relationship and family issues, trauma and grief, addiction, self-esteem and identity concerns, parenting and caregiver stress, and other life transitions.

Approach-led support for online therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and then take steps toward what matters most in their life - it is often useful for anxiety, stress, and motivation challenges. Attachment-Based Therapy explores patterns of relating that develop from early connections and focuses on improving relationship security and emotional regulation, which can help with intimacy, grief, and family or attachment-related concerns. Client-Centered Therapy centers the person’s own experience and values, offering empathic listening and partnership to build insight and self-directed change across a range of issues.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic work, and the therapist will collaborate with each person to identify methods that fit their needs, goals, and preferences. This collaborative process guides how sessions unfold and which strategies are emphasised.
Online therapy with a licensed professional offers flexibility in how care is delivered. Video calls and phone sessions allow real-time conversation, while live chat and text-based messaging provide more immediate or brief check-ins when schedules or energy levels make traditional sessions difficult. These options can make it easier to access consistent support and to integrate therapeutic work into everyday life.
